    I never said that assassination can never be revolutionary. Individual, disconnected action is adventurist, and has never delivered regime change like you posit. Luigi’s assassination was not revolutionary either. The fact that none of what you said could happen did happen is because it wasn’t actually a revolutionary action, and your understanding of revolution is flawed.

      So, from your words and trying to summarize what you have been saying:

      • A revolutionary action can only happen if directed by an organized group with very clear political theory behind them.
      • The act of organizing is revolutionary in itself even if completely open and legal.
      • A person outside organized groups and with no deep political knowledge cannot commit a revolutionary act, even if it is the same act that a politically organized group would have carried out.

      Do I have that correctly? Please tell me if I got any of those points wrong.

        Revolutionary action is action that advances the revolutionary struggle. A random individual acting alone is not advancing the revololutionary struggle.

          Even if it is the same action that a revolutionary committee would dictate?

          And please define what you mean by revolutionary struggle. I don’t want to make assumptions.
